Just an aside, but has anyone had the misfortune to have a quick look at the comments over on r/canada or cbc.ca around these articles? The amount of dumb (i.e. simplistic, low information), seething hatred for basically everything, is overwhelming. I can't tell if this is all bots, or if something weird is coming out of the woodwork, but it seems like we've passed some tipping point and I'm starting to feel alarmed at where we are headed. I get this is super embarrassing, but no serious person could think there was malicious intent in this Parliament incident. Fuck-ups and carelessness happen, the guy resigned, time to move on and focus on real issues.

I agree, there's been an apology and a resignation, so it's done. This kind of mistake could happen to anyone, and the people spending their days in comment sections must have led really charmed lives to never have a friend or relationship that turned out bad.

He did the right thing, unlike that time that Pierre Polievre shook hands and took selfies with the well known white supremacist who later threatened to rape his wife.

Conservatives lie and cheat then change the rules to remove barriers to cheating. They have no shame.
